lpv:spoken text	"The idea of a Generalised System of Preferences (GSP) goes back to 1968, when tariffs were much higher in general and when they were still seen as the main barrier to trade from developing to industrialised countries. The concept was initially proposed by the UNCTAD as a development tool: industrialised countries should grant non-reciprocal trade preferences to developing countries, allowing them to generate revenue not via aid, but via international preferential trade. The European Community started to apply this scheme in 1971. The first three-year scheme was implemented from 2006 to 2008. The second scheme is due to expire on 31 December 2011. The current scheme was adopted in 2008 under the consultation procedure. However, at that time, the referral arrived in Parliament at very short notice. Meaningful Parliament involvement in the regulation was impossible. This should not happen again for the forthcoming regulation, in particular given Parliament’s new competencies under the Treaty of Lisbon."@en1
